Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays Releases Again
Not long ago, Microsoft debuted with its Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays program. But at the same time it didnt guarantee a new release each and every Wednesday. And there has already been a first wave of XBLA Wednesday titles released that ended with Pac-Man from last week. This week, Xbox releases will get Ninja Bees XBLA platformer Cloning Clyde, with each picture pack that will go for 100 Microsoft points, meaning $1.25. Next week Microsoft promised another release with the long-awaited Texas Hold Em which finally arrives on August 23. The game will be available for 800 points, meaning $10, but the good news is that Microsoft has announced that it will be free for download for the first 48 hours. And its not over. On the next two Wednesdays, we will have a pair of Konami games. On August 30, Time Pilot will be available for 400 Microsoft points ($5). This will be followed by the 1981 Scramble, also for 400 Microsoft points ($5), on September 6.Source: http://www.playfuls.com/
